Functional Programming

Module Information

The aim of this module is to teach the basic principles of
functional programming, using the modern functional
language Haskell. Broadly speaking, functional programming
is a style of programming in which the primary method of
computation is the application of functions to arguments.
Among other features, functional languages offer a compact notation
for writing programs, powerful abstraction methods for
structuring programs, and a simple mathematical basis
that supports reasoning about programs.

Coursework

The coursework for the module comprises five exercise sheets
and an extended programming exercise. The courseworks are
assessed during the lab sessions, and will be released here
at the appropriate points during the module.
